Wuthering Heights
by
Emily Bronte
"No more shall ye behold such sights of woe, deeds I have suffered and myself have wrought; henceforward quenched in darkness shall ye see those ye should ne'er have seen; now blind to those whom, when I saw, I vainly yearned to know."
~
Oedipus Rex
by
Sophocles
A noble craft, but somehow a most melancholy! All noble things are touched with that.
